Online banking service Revolut has finally added Apple Pay support in a number of European countries.

Its latest update lets you add your Revolut card to the Wallet app and pay for your purchases using an Apple Watch or iPhone.

Revolut is one of many online-only banks that have popped up over the last few years — like Ally and Simple in the U.S. It promises fast and simple setup, built-in budgeting, easy saving, and more.

It has taken a while, but Revolut’s long list of features now finally includes Apple Pay support.

Add your Revolut card to Apple Pay

Apple Pay support is officially available in the U.K., France, and Russia — but you may find it also works in other territories.

Simply add your Revolut card to the Wallet app on your iPhone and Apple Watch to set it up. You will then be able to use compatible Apple devices to pay for goods at contactless terminals.

This update comes just as Apple Pay support was confirmed for the New York City subway. You’ll start seeing it at select stations starting Friday, May 31.
